Arab Woman and Veils in Saudi Arabia
Veils sometimes worn by Saudi women when in public. These pictures are from selected sites on the Internet and represent different geographical sections of Saudi Arabia.
It should be noted that western wemon who marry a Saudi man when living in Saudi Arabia will be expected to wear one of these veils (for elegance) or typically a black cover of her face when in public. Veils and other black garment are not typicaly worn in the home around family, brothers, fathers and sons. But when non family men are present in the home the black garments are typically required with the head covered by at least some type of scarf.
Hi Mr. Jerry ….. iwould like to thank you on behave of all Saudis about carring in some of our traditions, whichs by they way very much .. i hope you can visit this beautiful country.
** pictures are so old and its for other countriess’ women…..
Thanks for viewing my picture blog. The pictures were taken in 1976 except for the pictures of the wemon with viels. I have no idea when they were taken. I would very much like to visit again and continue the photography. Most people in the world will never visit Saudi. There are so many unique areas and customs of the SA that ought to be shared with the world.
